| Description: | The location of this painting is Napperby Lakes and shows the traveling mythological carpet snakes associated with this area. Tracks of an old possum man can be seen crossing the lake, as can the footprints of Napangarti/Napaltjarri women searching for mulga seeds, illustrated by the black patches with white spots. The curves of the background represent the lakes and the dotted areas of colour show the sandhills where the water emerges after being underground. |
